A SINGING CAT.

r. w. Scott Of Bishop Creek is the
possessor Of cat that sings. This
may appear too strange for belief, but
several prominent citizens and gentlemen
Of undoubted veracity vouch for the
truth of the story. Mr.. Scott has in his
establishment very fine music box, and
the cat has been noticed listening to its
strains for hours for some time One
evening recently the feline pri,na donna
poured forth Ia rich and clear coutralto
the melody OF the Grand Duchess. I"
To say that its owner was astonished
would be putting it mildly. He imme-
dlately called in several Of his neighbors
to listen to the wonder, but it was love .
labor lost; for the music had stopped.
A few evenings later the cat again poured
forth in liquid notes. Listen to the
Mocking Bird" Several gentlemen were
present, and listened with surprised de.
light to perhaps the greatest wonder Of
the age Many times during the past
week the song cat has tuned its voice to
sweet melody, and each time to the de.
light of interested hearers. The cats
owner is justly proud Of it. He is en-.
deavoring to train it to sing whenever be
desires it, and, If successful, will proba.

THE NEW SILVER FREAK.

The country will see that Eastern
representations Of the great things to
be done by the new Silver Exchange of
New York, will have results common
surate with their predictions about the
redemption of the trade dollar. There
is before us a statement over the sigma
ture of Moccatta & Goldschmidt, the
leading bullion brokers Of London, stat.
ing that there is never an accumulation
of silver bullion, even in that market,
which is the center of the worlds silver
trade. Advices of shipments from Mex.
leo or the United States are ordinarily
dovetailed with transfers in transit to
India and China, and the purchases and
sales are made to arrive and to forward,
making a mere hand to mouth supply of
bullion, all that is necessary for the
trade of the largest dealers with the
principal silver.using nations of the
world. 1t is difficult to see how silver
certificates, the main feature it appears
of the new Exchange, could be made to
figure in that kind of trade.
In this country there is no legitimate
demand for silver exeep. from the Mint
and from domestic artisans and from
England, all of whom might prefer to
buy from first hands as usual. There are
two statistical abstracts which furnish
the facts Of the foreign trade, and they
are sufficiently disagreable, if not humili-
ating, but we want the truth. The
statistical abstract of the United States
puts the net exports of silver bullion
and coin from the United States from
1880 to 1856, at $65, AGO, $50 to all coun.
tries, and the statistical abstract from
the United Kingdom shows an import OF
silver bullion and coin into England from
the United States in that period amount
ing to 500, $50, 000i We don't ship our
silver to be coined there, mind you, but
to be used by England in u~nderbuying
u cotton and wheat growers with it in
India and China. To talk about making
a silk purse out of q sow's ear like this
is not o little amusing. We shall get
that foreign trade when we get the un-
DERIVING commercial trade. louisville

Charlie Goodwin in the Salt Lake Tri.
bune pays this tribute to the dead
miners: All over the West men will
turn pityingly to read the story OF the
finding of the dead miners in the Com.
stock. They made a brave fight for life,
but in vain. That they were all found
living close together awakens a hope that
at last they altogether entered a drift
which was so unchanged with gas and
dead air, that they sank down and died
without pain. That mighty lode has
drawn many victims within its terrible
arms. The gnomes that guard their
treasures there, have exacted terrible
tributes of those who have gone down to
rife their treasure vaults. Through all
the twenty-seven years that the conflict
has been going on the victims have
averaged one each week. And they are
generally selected from the strongest and
bravest. By fire. by gas, by lead air,
by falls, by caves, by breaking machinery,
by explosions, the strong lives are yielded
up, until the real Comstock miner has
taken on a look different from that of
other men-the look which the veterans
of an army wear when the steady facing
of death has become reduced to a matter
of course, and face, gestures and voice
are all adjusted to it. Working con.
stantly underground has its effect upon
all men. They become sententious often
and terse of speech. Generally, too,
they become low voiced for the rule be.
comes second nature to reserve, as far as
possible, their lung power. Then their
surroundings naturally lead to this.
Their candles only relieve the eternal
darkness; the mountain has taken them
into it's awful bosom, and its tendency is
to hush them into quiet. When through
the years that toll away and once a week
are called upon to bear to the surface
the mangled and swollen remains of a
brother, the tendency is to drive what
is merry and joyous in their lives away.
And these last six who died! They are
at rest, but there are heart.broken
women and fatherless children remaining,
and their mute appeal to those who are
rich, or who are strong and able to work.
is touching, and should be needed. And
the gifts will make the dead miners
smile even in their narrow houses.

.sI.et Her Rip.''

On one occasion some Boston friends
sent Daniel Webster, as a present, an
enormous-sized plow to use on his
place. Webster gave out word that on
a certain day it would be christened.
The day arrived, and the surrounding
farmers for miles came in to witness
the event. A dozen teams with aris-
tocratic occupants came from Boston.
1t was expected by every n that
Webster would make a great speech on
the occasion, reviewing the history Of
farming back to the time when Gin
cinnatus abdicated the most mighty
throne in the world to cultivate turnips
and cabbages in his Roman garden.
The pillow was brought out and ten
yokes OF splendid oxen hitched in
front. More than 200 people stood
around on the tiptoe of expectation.
Soon Webster made his appearance.
He had been calling spirits from the
vastly deep, and his gait was some
what uncertain. Selling the pillow
handles and spreading his feet he
yelled out to the driver in his deep
bass voice -
care you all ready, Mr.. Wright?"
"All ready, Mr.. Webster" was the
reply, meaning Of course for his
speech.
Webster Strengthened himself up by
a mighty effort and shouted
Then let her rip"
The whole crowd dropped to the
ground and reared with laughter,
while Webster with his big pillow pro-
ceeded to rip up the soil.
